1. Relatively unsophisticated cannery equipment can be adapted to amatol production. 2. Ednatol was cast in the same manner as amatol . 3. The TNT and ammonium nitrate ( used to manufacture amatol ) had exploded. 4. The explosive employed was amatol 60 / 40 detonated by an electric contact fuze. 5. The explosive charges hidden in tons of amatol . 6. These fills included Ammonal, Schneiderite and Amatol . 7. Hence it was not simply a case of switching existing filling machinery from Lyddite to Amatol . 8. Amatol is oxygen balanced and is therefore more effective than pure TNT when exploding underground or underwater.9. Warheads for the German V-1 flying bomb and V-2 rockets also contained amatol . 10. Shell filling began on 11 November 1916, with both Lyddite and Amatol explosives being used in production.
